Our Verdict

Real Turmat has designed a wide range of meals that are tasty, light-weight and aimed at everyone and for any kind of outdoor activity. With a good balance of weight, calories and taste the range has been very popular. The range uses a unique drying process that removes only the water from the original dish. This secures a nutritious and lightweight meal – really easy to prepare without removing any of the flavour.

There are also the 'Field Meal' range which are designed for a balanced diet, developed for personnel in challenging situations. They generally have more calories included to help replace those used on longer or more challenging adventures.

7/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - We used the recommended amount of water when making the meal, but found it to be a little sloppy. We recommend using a little less water to make the chilli a little thicker. The chilli was flavorful and had plenty of meat and vegetables. The kidney beans hydrated well, which is not always the case. However, the chilli was not very spicy, so people who like their chilli spicy, as I do may be disappointed.
